Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - The Artist No. 2 Eau de Parfum
This one is an absolute bruiser, inspiring fervent devotion and outright disgust in equal measure. If you're after a shy floral, look elsewhere. For a bold, take-no-prisoners statement, this might just be your beast.
Acquired
Our Verdict - I Want Oud Eau de Parfum
This isn't the oud beast you might expect from the name; it's a surprising, sweeter take on a classic. Some find it gorgeous and elegant, others are left wanting a more traditional oud. If you're after a tamer, sweeter oud, this could be your jam.

Season and Occasion Fit

The Artist No. 2 Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

This powerful and divisive scent, with reports of beast mode performance post-maceration, is far too imposing for an office or casual setting. It’s perfect for formal, authoritative occasions or a daring evening date where you want to make an unforgettable statement.

I Want Oud Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its elegant and feminine character makes it fitting for dates and formal occasions. The tempered oud ensures it's not too intrusive for office wear, but the warmth means it's perhaps a bit much for casual daytime.
